EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Can I have a bed here?", captures a humorous scene that is sure to bring a smile to your face. The illustration, created by an English School artist, was originally featured in The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1835. In this delightful image, we see a servant standing next to an enormous bed while holding up a dusting cloth. With a mischievous expression on their face, they ask the question that gives the artwork its title: "Can I have a bed here?". It's clear that this cheeky inquiry is meant to poke fun at the servant's role and perhaps even challenge societal norms of the time. The detailed engraving showcases various elements of furniture and furnishings surrounding the grand bed. From upholstered goods to intricate designs, every aspect adds depth and character to this whimsical composition. Whether you appreciate historical art or simply enjoy lighthearted humor, this print will make for an intriguing addition to any collection.
